Outline and Purpose of the Course Stress, strain, displacement, and basic equations in linear elasticity are first lectured, and then Airy's stress function and its application to solve two-dimensional problems in linear elasticity are explained. Moreover, energy theorems and their application to a numerical stress analysis method are described.
Course Goals This course aims to master the basics to solve the boundary value problems in linear elasticity analytically or numerically and to obtain the basic knowledge of numerical stress analysis methods such as FEM and BEM.
